I have assembled panels of 24"X9.5" LED Panels (24 strips of 10mm). I need to cut them into strips and join them together then add double sided 3M tape and spool them. How is this best accomplished. Laser Cutting, Die Cutting, Roller Cutting

Hello, I've ran into information claiming that ESD dissipative floor mats and laminate is not effective unless paired with ESD footwear or heel straps. Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks! -OtheRuss

Correct. Remember, you need the charge to flow to earth from yourself, the heel strap/conductive shoes etc. facilitate this, otherwise you would stay charged no matter how good the floor was.

We are looking at ESD chairs in our EPROM room. Currently we are using smocks with wrist straps, this was set up before me. Is there any special or different things that needs to be done to the smocks to make them work with an ESD chair?

LarryP, ESD smocks in combination with a wrist strap provide a path to ground for any charge potential. An operator wearing a smock while grounded will provide a path to ground for the chair. With an ESD chair you can have antistatic or static

How do you keep a standard foot strap from riding up on the top of your foot when wearing dress shoes ? The stretchy part rides up past your shoe laces and ends up contacting the top of your foot which becomes uncomfortable quickly..... I know ther

Yeh, that RIPPPPP sound that seperating velcro makes is a real hint isn't it. Use your field meter to confirm your suspicions. We cut the straps.

This esd safe carpet is new to me. How is the carpet tested/maintained? Are you still wearing the typical foot strap or did they sell you some other kind of footwear? Sorry for "changing the initial subject" of this post.

If your budget allows, there are dress shoes made that are ESD safe. This would preclude the need for the straps, and the hassle of having to keep track of wearing them.

Leather is not very insulative. AFAIK a lot of good quality dress shoes are naturally ESD safe. (or maybe test too low.) Check the dress shoes with a tester. And I'm guessing that stapling the straps is out of the question.
